Has anyone switched from celexa to cymbalta for pain relief of fibromyalgia?
I am in the process of switching from 40mgs of celexa to cymbalta. Just wondering if there are any withdrawal symptoms in the process and if cymbalta really helps with fibromyalgia pain. How long does the process take?
Chosen Answer:
I work in health-care. I have had patients switched from celexa to cymbalta and they say they do better with cymbalta. It helps with their depression and pain from neuropathy. No side effects noticed.
You can actually just switch over. I’ve been taking Cymbalta for awhile for my depression. Doesn’t seem to be doing to good for that but have not had as much fibro pain since taking it.
Those medications are antidepressants, not pain relievers.

I have been on celexa for 4 years now. They don’t seem to want to try anything different….
An aside to Doc. They use anti-depressants to block the nerve receptors in the brain.
